This case study explores the creation of an cinematic editorial advertisement for PULSE, a fictional energy drink brand. The project focuses on building a premium neon commercial aesthetic through glossy product shots, high-contrast lighting, sharp cuts, and a polished vertical 9:16 format designed for social media.
The film was developed around the visual impact of the can, using macro details, condensation, reflections, slow-motion opening shots, and dark studio setups with red and blue neon highlights. The final scene introduces a female athlete in a gym environment, connecting the product to energy, performance, confidence, and lifestyle.
The goal was to practice creating a short-form product commercial with strong brand consistency, refined visual direction, cinematic pacing, editorial styling, and a premium advertising look for digital campaigns.

Toadrinks - Brand Identity
Excited to share TOADRINKS, a conceptual gut-friendly soda brand made for a lighter, more enjoyable way to sip. Built around playful personality, bold flavours, and a character-led visual world, the brand aims to make better-for-you choices feel fun rather than functional.
I'd love to hear your thoughts in comments!
The character-led route is exactly right for a gut-friendly soda: a playful mascot makes better-for-you feel like a treat instead of a health lecture, which is the whole positioning. Giving each can its own toad pose turns the mascot into a cast you can stretch across flavours and social, not just a logo.
